Before i head off to bed for an early night i wanted to share a quick update with you.
This is where i left Molly last week, more or less finished off the tree.
See that little blank space bottom right? I had to un pick that bit as i stitched it in the wrong colour!
I had to have a rest from all that brown stitching so i picked up BP and stitched, errrr, more brown, lol
I finished off the motif on the left, completed the large one on the right and the small one above that. I'm going to finish off the one i started next the the bird before putting it away for a few days.
I need some colour in my stitching life with all this brown so there may be a new start to share next time ;-)
Thank you all for your lovely comments on my last post. Changing the background for your own image was not that hard, although i had to re-size the photo. For those who asked to know how, go into Design Template then Background and there is a little box called Background image, select the the drop down arrow next to that box and it will give you an option to Upload your own image (or there are loads of different backgrounds on there to choose from instead) It does suggest the size to make your photo so that it will fit.
I mentioned last time that i was going to start a 365 photo blog. I made my first post tonight, i hope you will pop over and take a look and maybe a comment to start me off?
Until next time x

At least it is a pretty brown! :)
I've just discovered your blog, Maggie, and I really love what you've done with your background--I'll bet a lot of us will be trying this idea! Thanks for sharing the instructions--and all of your brown stitching is so pretty :)
Lovely progress on your WIPs!
Love your progress on both samplers, Maggie! I had to laugh about the comments about the brown. I'm mired in brown on CHS Elizabeth but finally got to add in some color in the form of bird eggs. LOL Your Quaker sampler is beautiful!
Love the new background!!
Both progress are looking beautiful.
BP is looking so lovely, shame you had to frog out some of the tree
Great progress on Molly and your brown stitching is beautiful!
Your new photo blog is fab.
Your stitching is just beautiful.

Lovely WIPs Maggie :)
OH WOW! I LOVE your new blog look!
Good job!! and as always...BEAUTIFUL stitching my friend:)
What a great possibility to create your very personal background. I love yours. And I love your two WIPs and the progress you made on them. When there is a big tree in one of my projects I'm always very relieved when it's done, lol. Like you.
OH, Love the new blog layout!!!
Beautiful work! I really love what you're stitching! And I took a peek at your picture blog -- wow! Wonderful pictures!
Lovely stitching on your WIPs.

Maggie, what other colors are you using for Quaker Christmas... it's interesting to see other people's ideas and changes...
oh, and I just love your cats! :)
Maggee!!! I love your progress on BP...that brown is gorgeous...hope you don't tire of her soon. I can't wait to see your finish. I am stitching her too, and need some desperate motivation to get her done. I don't mind working on it, but it is taking for-ever!!!!
Also love your new background, looks great!!
Lovely!!! Thanks, now i can see the pics (from office i cannot see flickr/photobucket or similar-way uploaded photos:( ) I am now able to relax;-)
Love your Molly WIP..
Maggie: I just checked out your new photography blog. What fabulous photographs! I have a minor in photography, but have never translated that know-how to my digital camera. Your work -- including the stitching -- is wonderful.
